This week, Amtrak announced that it would trial a pet program jan airlines continental arena meadowlands expressjet flyer that would carry small dogs and cats in designated passenger cars (NOT luggage cars) between Chicago and Quincy, Illinois until November, 2014. Should the trial prove successful, they will consider lauching this program nationwide.
This is truly great news and long overdue. It is certainly exciting that pets may soon be able to travel with their owners by train  in comfort in the United States. Of course, they will need to stay in their carriers. Amtrak s price for this route is $25.00.  Let s hope it is successful!
Marjorie carrying a pet weighing 16 pounds in the cabin of an aircraft may be difficult, especially if the length from tip of nose to base of tail exceeds 19 inches. If driving is out of the question, then you need to contact the airline that flies the route to see how much room they offer under the seat in front of you.
This is wonderful news and I hope it proves to be very successful. I live in Mexico jan airlines continental arena meadowlands expressjet flyer and visit my family in Canada about once every couple of years. We drive because it is the only way to transport our ageing dog but it would be wonderful if we could take a train from Texas to Michigan with the dog.
